Well, I thought I would show you some progress we've made on our garden shed! It's coming along well, and just adding the battons now.It's getting cold out now, so not sure if it will get stained now until spring...we'll see!

Here is the Man-servant....shhh, don't tell him I said that! I'm joking, he works so, so hard and is such a perfectionist. Yay, for me right!!! Don't you just love this door. A friend gave me the door, as she was taking it to the dump...I had it on a previous shed and brought it with me when we moved. I love it!!!

So, there you have it, a sneak peak and a break from the halloween stuff.

What do you think so far? I'm thinking of staining it to match my garage colors. Nantucket Grey and a Beige color .On the inside, I am doing a checkerboard floor! (Benjamen Moore Paints)

Wow - what a talented pair you are. I just love your shed. We've been wanting a shed/workshop in our garden but just can't decide on a style so I'll be showing my husband your pics later.Just discovered your blog and just love your home. I'm your newest follower.~Sam

I absolutely love your new shed and all the attention to detail & the quality workmanship (props to hubby)! It reminds me of a precious dollhouse with the front porch. You're going to have so much fun dressing up this little gem - however you do it! You just need to go with your instincts 'cause they've never been wrong so far. Wishing you a wonderfully happy Thanksgiving weekend! I hear the weather is going to be divine!

I am coming over from 'Under the Table and Dreaming!' I am your newest follower and will look forward to watching the progress on your shed! We must be married to the same perfectionistic man! My husband built me a shed in the spring and is now working on a treehouse for my children...will post that soon! Check out my shed at http://threepixielane.blogspot.com/2010/06/girls-shedno-boys-allowed.html and at http://threepixielane.blogspot.com/2010/07/1800s-fireplace-mantle.html. I LOVE your door and love that you brought it from your old house! My shed is lookin' kind of plain now, and I will have to figure out some ways to 'vintage it' up!! Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi from Halton Hills, Ontario. I found your blog from SNS at Funky Junk Interiors. Your shed has great character! I love the porch, the overhang and that awesome door. Okay, I love it all. Total shed envy here. I'm your newest follower.

About Me

I love all things beautiful and enjoy being creative.I have always liked old homes and their amazing character that they have.
We bought a 130 yr old farmhouse in the city that we are fixing up as we speak. So, I hope to find inspiration and joy from it.

Welcome to my blog!

I have always loved old homes and buildings. I finally found an old home in the city, close to work and good schools. It is 130 yrs old,but is in pretty good shape structurally.Lots of character, high ceilings, and charm. But it needs updating, so I am documenting our renos. Hopefully, I do this house proud and it turns out the way I intend. One thing I have learned is things dont' happen as fast as I would like...I have to be patient ,and living through messes aren't so great for me ! As my husband always says,"You have to break an egg to make an Omelette!"
Hope you enjoy my journey!
